Mine... My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it's insides. Still great, I just don't use it anymore since I feel it's outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.

I don't use mine a ton because I have a good gaming PC at home, but when I'm out for a while, I take it with me. It's taken the place that my Switch and my laptop used to occupy, and I've barely touched either of those since I got my Deck.

Definitely don't regret the purchase.

I've found myself using my deck way more than my PC. I've barely touched my PC since I got my deck because it can run most of the games I want to play, either natively or via proton/wine. Granted, most of the games I've been playing recently are either slow-paced and can be played with the deck controller (like The Sims 2, or OpenRCT2), or are better on a controller than m/kb (like animal crossing or mario).

I definitely still have things I still need my PC for, either because they won't run on my deck (VR stuff), are difficult to play on a deck (mainly shooters), are more suited for a physical keyboard (filling out forms), or the deck can technically handle but doesn't have performance to do it well (like 3d modeling or game dev). However, my deck has become my main PC when it comes to games.

I definitely prefer to play on a bigger screen.

Can you connect a steam deck to an external screen? (Genuine question.)

[-] moody@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago

With a USB-C to hdmi adapter or a dock, you can.
